Murray Settling In After Beating Nieminem

TENNIS BETTING: Live on BBC from 12.00: Andy Murray marched in to Round 3 in front of the queen as Mahut and Isner finally drew to a conclusion. Compare all Wimbledon Odds.

MensIsner and Mahut finally saw out their record breaking marathon match when John Isner broke serve and went on to win an astonishing 70 games to 68 in the 5th set. Isner must play De Bakker today and surely the 8/13 about De Bakker with Blue Square has to be considered due to the sheer physical stress Isner went through.

Nadal and Federer remain joint favs, Nadal 15/8 with 888sport and Federer the same at Paddy Power. Nadal had a 5-setter of his own to contend with yesterday to match Federer’s 1st round scare and the bookies simply can’t split the pair.

Elsewhere, Murray has notched in to 7/1 from 8′s at Ladbrokes, Robin Soderling lurks at 10/1 with Stan James, while Totesport have begun to hack lumps of Lleyton Hewitt, into 25′s from 40/1.

WomensDaniela Hantuchova was the biggest casualty yesterday as she lost to Strycova. Serena Williams remains 15/8 fav at Victor Chandler whilst her sister Venus is not far behind at 3/1 with Paddy Power.

Justine Henin (9/1 Boylesports) faces a tough test against Petrova while Maria Sharapova overcame Olaru to book her place in the last 32. Sharapova retains her 9/1 tag with Coral as the bookies still expect her to bottle it against a big gun in the later stages.
